Being pregnant can sure make you tired! By the time the end of the day arrives, you’re ready to hit that pillow and fall asleep, and yet, you’re likely to toss and turn instead.
Being pregnant brings many nighttime challenges that can prevent you from getting sleep, no matter how tired you are. Aside from following general nighttime tips, like avoiding screen time an hour before bed, there are some specific things you can do while you’re pregnant to make the nighttime hours more comfortable and rejuvenating.
Eat a Snack
It’s true that you shouldn’t eat an entire meal right before bed. Eating too much can increase your body temperature and ramp up your digestion, which can make sleep difficult. However, it’s just as difficult to sleep if your stomach is growling!
Before you hit the hay, grab a small snack to settle your stomach so you can relax. A few pieces of fruit, a handful of nuts, and a small piece of cheese can help tide you over so you aren’t getting up for a midnight snack.
